Ignatius Maddox

Ignatius, while mentioned in his father's will, receives only "one English Shilling" and "refused to appear" for the probate. With this and the fact that Ignatius Maddox, Phoebe Evans, Elizabeth Evans, and Mary Posey are listed separately from the other children in his will, can we assume these four are from his first wife? For now I will.
